Transitional Housing: South Dade

Cottages at Naranja

The Cottages at Naranja is a six to nine month long transitional housing program for single, homeless adults. A total of 50 men and/or women are housed in 10 cottage-style buildings. On-site case management and food services are provided, as well as many different life skills trainings such as nutritional instruction and personal budget counseling.

Courtyards at Homestead

Transitional housing for 10 families (35 persons) is provided in the Courtyards Apartments complex in Homestead, where Camillus leases 10 units amongst the other market-rate apartments. Families receive case management and supportive services during their 6 months in the program, during which time they stabilize their employment situations and prepare to move on into unsupported housing. Since families are already living in housing which is integrated into the community at large, the transition to independent living has been extremely successfully with these residents.  

Airbase Housing Program (Singles and Families)

The Airbase Housing Program provides approximately 182 beds of transitional housing in brand new units built on the former Homestead Air Reserve Base. Opened in August 2000, the facility provides a total of 36 apartments for families and 30 beds for single men. Intensive case management services are provided throughout the program, with other services including child care provided on an as-needed basis. The singles units are reserved 75% for veterans, and Camillus provides specialized services for veterans to this targeted population.
